Galling insects on neotropical species ofBaccharis(Asteraceae)

Abstract: We report on the insect galls on neotropical species of Baccharis (Asteraceae) and describe new kinds oi galls on Baccharis spp. of the cerrado and rupestrian fields of Brazil. Gall collections were made in several localities in Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte, Caratinga; Lagoa Santa, Moeda, Ouro Preto, and Serra do Cip6). Baccharis may support the richest galling fauna of the neotropics (121 galling species on only 40 species of Baccharis). Nevertheless, gallers were not evenly distributed across host plant spec… Show more

“…Essa ordem, representada em sua maioria por espécies de Cecidomyiidae, constitui o maior táxon de insetos galhadores na região Neotropical (FERNANDES et al, 1996). Os Coleoptera e Lepidoptera também encontrados nas áreas apresentaram o mesmo padrão para os demais estudos realizados no Brasil, nos quais essas galhas induzidas por espécies dessas ordens sempre estão presentes, porém possuem riqueza menor que os Diptera FERNANDES, 2004;OLIVEIRA;MAIA, 2005;MAIA et al, 2008).…”

“…Although the families Asteraceae and Melastomataceae concentrated 74% of the gall-inducing insects, only two genera, Baccharis (Asteraceae) (42%) and Tibouchina (Melastomataceae) (12%) responded for 54% of the total. Previous studies have shown that some taxa concentrate a large number of galls (Fernandes & Price 1988, Fernandes et al 1996, Blanche 2000. Some genera have been considered super-hosts.…”

“…Some genera have been considered super-hosts. Working with Baccharis, Fernandes et al (1996) reported 121 gall species in only 40 host plant species. In another study, Carneiro et al (2009b) recorded that Baccharis has the highest number of gall-inducing insects in Rupestrian Fields from the Espinhaço Range.…”

“…These patterns are repeated at the genus level. In a broad revision of the galling fauna associated with the genus Baccharis (Asteraceae), Fernandes et al (1996) registered 121 gall morphotypes. Mendonça (2007) found 19 and 15 gall morphotypes on host plants of the genera Mikania (Asteraceae) and Eugenia (Myrtaceae), respectively.…”
